Earlier Today...

At the Snowman Mall, EBW's Vape was dressed as Santa Claus, with Dan, Jammer, and Benjamin dressed as elves. They were giving out gifts to the the children.

Vape: Oh ho ho! Hello little girl! Is that your Mommy, and is there a Daddy in the picture?

Little Girl: What?

Vape: Do you have a Daddy?

Little Girl: No, but you don't have to make fun of me about it!

Vape: I wasn't-

Little Girl: Mommy, Santa Claus is a jerk! My entire childhood and world view and have been tainted and ruined!

Vape: ....Very....eloquent young girl. Well spoken.

Bashin Dan: You're doing great Vape.

Jammer: Don't encourage this Dan. He's awkward as hell! Why didn't either one of us do this?

Bashin Dan: We lack the....

Jammer: Beef?

Bashin Dan: Yes. Beef.

Jammer: So we're not fat enough?

Bashin Dan: You had it right the first time!

Benjamin: I'm still confused about Christmas myself. See, I could have sworn it was about this Jesus fellow Fray Tiburon was telling me about. Who is Santa Claus?

Bashin Dan: ...He's...uh...

Jammer: The dude that shills coke products every year around this time.

Benjamin: OH! I was wondering who that was! This clears up so much! Many thanks.

Jammer: Dude, he's never going to assimilate, is he?

Bashin Dan: Doesn't look like it. He's still wearing armor under his elf costume.

w00t: Well well well....

Jammer: And here we go.

w00t: The representative of EBW, dressed as an elf, looking like a joke.

Jammer: He might be doing it one day a year, but none of us can top you doing it all year round.

Vape: Snap!

w00t: Pipe down Santa Cholesterol, cause I'm not here alone.

Cade: Dan.

Bashin Dan: You're right, here we go again.

Cade: You can't possibly think this is over.

Bashin Dan: I-

Cade: Don't even bother. I can't hear you anymore. All I hear is a voice, telling me to rip your heart out. I won't though. I'll abstain, for now, because I want that Triple Crown.

Benjamin: You were beaten Cade.

Cade: I was cheated. I wasn't done fighting, but Mav decided-

Jammer: To save your damn ankle you idiot! You were passed out from pain, and Dan was going to keep twisting until he stopped it. You would have woken up without a foot!

Cade: I was NOOOOT passed out! I got right back up, and I put pressure down on that ankle. Look, I'm walking on it right now. He saw a moment. He saw an opportunity to try and hide his handiwork, but it's not going to work!

w00t: President Swift will try to sweep it under the rug, but Cade here, even told Mav he wasn't giving up. Mav got it really close. You can see the footage, and asked him if he gave up, and Cade said NO.

Bashin Dan: Is that true?

w00t: Would we lie?

Jammer: Yeah. You would absolutely lie.

w00t: What are you still doing here? Don't you need to beg Santa to make the evil football players get off your back?

Jammer: Joke's on you, that already happened, when....well...when...wait...why did we stop feuding?

w00t: From one former World Champion to another, I suggest you learn to be what you have to be to get competitive again, or else you're going to be stuck in stupid feuds with stupid people. As for you Dan, do you intend to give my friend Cade a rematch?

Bashin Dan: I don't back down from challenges, but he's going to have to wait. Mav Valentine gets his rematch, as the final match of 2020. It's only fair. He was ahead of you in line, until you took his spot. We're done here Cade. We're trying to spread good cheer to the children.

Cade: Don't turn your back on me. You giving up Dan? Have you finally realized that we're enemies.

Bashin Dan: I just know, that if I see w00t or Dae Montell with you, then I might as well save my breath, but no, I don't give up on my friends.

Cade: Foolish. Actions have consequences. You and Mav Valentine are both going to figure that out.

Benjamin: He doesn't know when to quit.

Vape: He's getting a lump of coal this year.

Jammer: So...I was feuding with Blitzworth, and then Sbarrge showed up and battered me. Golvoth....isn't with them anymore....so then....wait....I'm going to need to write this down.





Larry Grim: Welcome to Snowman folks, and Merry Christmas! For those of you who don't celebrate Christmas, I can't help you, because this is the designated time for this holiday. It's important to respect those dates, like Taco Tuesday for example.

Makoto Angel: The Angel Family definitely celebrates Christmas, and from all of us to you, have a very Merry Christmas! Your present from us, is another exciting episode of Xperience! It's not an experienced episode of Xperience, even though that would make more sense. See, it should be exciting episode of Xcite, but you get the idea right?

Larry Grim: We're in the Icee Arena for tonight's episode, that will see Triple Crown World Champion Bashin Dan, lead Tack Angel, and the Weekend Wrecking Crew, against w00t, Cadmus, Cade, Maurice, and their new mystery friend. No, it's not Picky Minch, but we WILL be hearing from the Challenge Champion tonight.

Makoto Angel: The story that's been floating around concerns the well being of Lady M's, one of the bosses of the Women's Division. While I don't want to point fingers...I'm gonna. I still think Eisenritter did this. They reek of negavibes. My friend's cat helped me clue in on that sort of thing.

Larry Grim: Sure! I don't know who is responsible, but Tess had something to say earlier. Let's roll the footage!

Tess's Office

Tess: I'm not going to talk about being grateful tonight. I'm not going to talk about Christmas either. I'm not here to tout Eisenritter. I'm not here to admonish Alison Chains. This is about what happened to Tali on Xcite. I want it to be made crystal clear, that while I don't hide my feelings for my step daughter, I would never authorize or condone an attack on a pregnant woman. I want to know who that was. I'm going to be running investigations on this matter, and the culprit WILL step forward. This isn't about our philosophical war on what women's wrestling should be. This is far too personal of an attack, and it goes beyond anything I would do. I'm a mother too you know? I'm demanding that whoever pushed her down those steps, come forward. It'll be easier on you...but not much.

EBW Announce Table

Larry Grim: This reminds me of what happened to someone else, but it's even hazy for me? Could I be losing my power? No wait....it's the eggnog. Mmmmm, Vape's Brand Nog is Noggalicious!

Makoto Angel: We also have a Television Championship bout tonight, as Sunny Malibu puts the title on the line against Alison Chains. Chains made sure that Eisenritter lost the Women's World Tag Team Championships in a bit of turnabout being fair play. She made it clear, she wanted to repay a debt. Will she tonight? 

Larry Grim: So much more to go through tonight too, as President Swift seems to have another announcement set for tonight. Yes, he already said he plans on appointing a "Sheriff" to EBW at the start of the year, but he's got something else in mind for tonight. I wonder what it could be? I would normally know already, but I think eggnog is the only substance that can block my sight. It's funny really, cause how am I even getting tipsy? I don't have a stomach? I put a cup in my rib cage, so when I drink it, it goes into the cup, and I can just drink it again. It's recycling!

Makoto Angel: That's gross AND cool! We had two matches on ENN+ already like usual, with Dirk Laramie losing to BeShemoth in an Intergender Match, and Jammer narrowly losing to Firebrand X, ahead of his Television Championship challenge to Benjamin at Last Clash 2020. Well, it looks like we- wait...here comes Picky Minch! He looks upset! He's got Dae Montell following close behind, but it doesn't look like Picky wants him there.

Picky Minch: Look, I am going to handle this by myself. I don't want to write my name in your book! I just want to clear the air here! I'm addressing Trevor Mach. On Xcite, we were supposed to end things, but obviously, things got in the way. A lot of people I know are happy about the situation, but I'm not. I don't want Lady M's to be in that hospital room right now. I don't want Justice in any danger, and I don't want your car blowing up. I don't want that. What I want, is to prove to you, that I'm the better man. The "I Kneel" Match was supposed to lead to that end, but I feel cheated. I understand, but I feel cheated. I just think that-

Suddenly, Trevor Mach rushed in from the crowd and tackled Picky to the mat. He clutched at something in his hand as he grabbed a mic.

Trevor Mach: I KNEW, you'd be out here running your mouth off tonight kid. You won the title. I knelt before you, because I had something else I had to do! I knew you wouldn't leave it alone. I knew you'd just keeping poking and prodding. Well you know what? I'm tired of being poked and prodded right now. I'm damn tired. My kid could have been killed! My WIFE could have been killed! My car blows up and I find your shirt. They search the area around the staircase on Xcite, and look, another damn shirt! Do I think you're doing it? Probably not. It's probably mind games. Well, I don't feel like playing games. I've had about ENOUGH of this shit!

Picky Minch: I didn't-

Trevor Mach: You keep your mouth shut Picky! This has got to stop, because I'm getting screwed with, and my family is getting screwed with, and I made it very clear that I'm NOT Tack Angel. You screw with my family, and you put your life on the line! If you have anything to do with this, you're dead, but again you probably don't. You want to prove you're a big man. You want to be bigger than the "Bushido Renegade". Alright Picky. You mean it? You want that huh? Then, you need to put that title on the line one more time.

Picky Minch: Done.

Trevor Mach: In a match of my choosing this time.

Picky Minch: Just say when.

Trevor Mach: Last Clash 2020.

Picky Minch: Fine by m-

Trevor Mach: 3 Stages of Hell.

Picky Minch: *cough* Excuse me?

Trevor Mach: You heard me. We're beaten. We're battered. We're tired. Want to see which one of us is better? Then let's see who crumbles first? It's not enough to beat me up Picky. You're going to have to crush my will! I'M TOO MAD, AND LIVID, AND PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW FOR HALF MEASURES! We're doing this? We're doing the whole damn thing! Now, are you still in, or are you going to piss yourself and cry for mommy?

Picky Minch: ......I'm in.

Trevor Mach: Good. I'm going to beat you Picky. You're flying too close to the sun, and it's going to burn you. I just hope, that in the end, you can live with yourself. One last time kid. One last goodbye. Merry Christmas dickhead. *spits*

EBW: Xperience "Merry Christmas"
Snowman Icee Arena, Snowman
ENN

0. Dark Match Intergender: BeShemoth beat Dirk Laramie via Spinning Side Slam -> Pin
0. Singles: Firebrand X beat Jammer via Fire Thunder Driver -> Pin
1. 8-Woman Tag: Hope Mach/Christina Angel[o]/Jessica James/Jenny James beat Erica/Duvalie/Kaie/Eve[x] via WRIST CLUTCH Angel Driver -> Pin
-The opening match saw the NEW EBW Women's World Tag Team Champions and the James Sisters join forces to take on Eisenritter. With Sunny and Millie Malibu watching on, as the new champs, seemed to have the number of Erica and her group tonight. No dirty tricks for once, as Erica attempted to extend a hand to Hope, only for Christina to walk up and slap her in the mouth. With the James Sisters making quick tags in and out, to take apart Eve, the Onlyfans muscle queen fell to the WRIST CLUTCH Angel Driver for the pin. Christina tried to cut more hair as Erica pulled her sister out of the ring.

Erica: Whoa! Hold it! I tried to play nice tonight. I tried to cut you a break!

Christina Angel: A break? A BREAK?! You've got to be kidding me. You want me to run a gauntlet to get to you at Last Clash, then I will, but don't act like you've giving any breaks here. You're playing more games. Doesn't matter if you pushed M's off those stairs or not, I think you know something. You're only upset because you're still obsessed with her and her family like you've been all these years. She might not say anything right now, but I'll say it for you.

Jessica James: She's not the only one. Between you bitches, the Muscle Girl Security, and now the traitors, all you've ever been interested in, is pain, violence, and stabbing people in the back. That's fine, we can roll with that, but be honest about it at least. I also happen to think you know something. M's and Hope mean something to us, and we're going to rip and tear until we find out who is responsible for what happened!

Erica: You want to drop pretense? Fine. I AM sorry about what happened, but I don't intend to let you take from us in this situation. You coming after us, in a moment like this, when I actually felt sorry for you for a brief moment, just shows you're capable of the stuff you accuse us of. Millie getting attacked proved that too. Using the opportunity to take the titles also proved that. If you're not careful, you'll become the very thing you hate, and we'll have brand new members to our association. Christina, I MIGHT see you at Last Clash, IF you can run the gauntlet.

2. Singles: Radzi Schrieffer beat Aron Vayne via Elbow and Forearm Ground and Pound -> Referee Stoppage
-The "War Kings" sent Radzi Schrieffer of Hagen into battled against Aron Vayne. A very Bushido-eque match, even without the Bushido Rules in place, Radzi was able to counter Judo with good old fashioned Catch AS Catch Can. Aron Vayne proved his worth, by squaring up with Firebrand X, but found himself on the ropes, when a Euroland Uppercut smashed Vayne in the chin, sending him to the mat. Radzi got into mount position, and laid in several forearms and elbows, until Vayne stopped responding, and the ref had to stop the match. Radzi Schrieffer with the win.

Larry Grim: Wow. An impressive display from Radzi. The rest of the team, in their Euroland adorned track jackets, seemed to be please with the quick victory, and this was over Aron Vayne, who was more than a match for Firebrand X. I think it was that uppercut. It hit just right. He seemed glazed over after that. Keep in mind, that the remaining "War Kings" will be in action at Maelstrom Fight Club 3, which will be airing Boxing Day, so you know, that's kinda fitting. Right?

Backstage

Ted Pettentool: Ted Pettentool here, and no you're not seeing things, I am BACK on my feet....well foot. I got used to that prosthetic really quickly, and I can stand next to this wet floor sign, without the need for a crutch even! I'm joined by Mav Valentine, who also looks like he's more comfortable on his feet.

Mav Valentine: I'm getting there. I'll be ready for Last Clash at least, and even if I'm not, I intend to show up and get my title back anyways.

Ted Pettentool: Cade says that you cheated him out of the title, and called for the bell, when he said he was awake, and not giving up. What do you have to say to that?

Mav Valentine: I think it's bullshit personally. You believe that guy? He's lucky he didn't break his ankle. That was a great match, but he's making excuses now. The fact is, I can give Dan a better challenge, and I can beat him. I didn't underestimate Dan before, I knew he was great, but to battle Dan is a different experience, and it changes your perception on a few things. You get some of that fighting spirit rubbed off on you, and you realize as confident as you are in your abilities, you can always do better. I KNOW I am capable of doing so much more, and the best is yet to come. Dan, bring your A game, but I'll be bringing an A+ this time.

Ted Pettentool: So...you DIDN'T hear Cade say he wasn't giving up then?

Mav Valentine: What did I just say Ted? You implying something? Look, I'm going to go, because I want to watch the main event. I'm a wrestling fan, just like everyone else here. Later.

Ted Pettentool: Hmmm, I guess tha-WHOA! *thud*

3. Women's Singles: Calamity Jane beat Lainey Strong via Lariat -> Pin
-The first showdown between one of the broken tag teams in the Women's Division, saw Lainey Strong take on Calamity Jane. Strong was in near tears, as she questioned why her partner would turn on her the way did, but the former Sunset Riders were not going to settle this with words. Jane threw stiff shots, and brawled with her partner, who had been developing under Jane, so she knew everything to expect from the daughter of Mayor Strong. In a battle of Lariat attempts, Calamity Jane won out, flooring her former friend, and pinning her for the win.

Makoto Angel: I feel so bad for Lainey. She's a real sweet girl, just really shy. Calamity Jane was helping her to break out too. *sigh* That was a solid win for Jane, but I miss the Sunset Riders already.

Larry Grim: You're being very adult right now. Calamity Jane hates your family, and yet you're still trying to keep composed. Proud of you.

Makoto Angel: Thanks!

Larry Grim: You look sad.

Makoto Angel: I just don't like seeing them fight on Christmas. People should all be together for Christmas.

Larry Grim: Let's turn that frown upside down. Hey, you want to know why my friend Dracula never had a lot of other friends? He was a real...pain in the neck.

Makoto Angel: ....Heh...he....

Larry Grim: Want to know why he used to chew gum so much? He had "bat breath".

Makoto Angel: Ha...haha....

Larry Grim: Hey, did you-

Makoto Angel: I'm good Larry, but thank you.

Larry Grim: Right. Right. That's what I'm here for.
 
4. EBW Women's Television Championship: Alison Chains beat Sunny Malibu(c) via DQ -> No Title Change
-In the Semi Main Event, Alison Chains challenged Sunny Malibu for the Television Championship. A heated contest, with a lot behind it, especially with M's in the hospital, and Sunny Malibu being responsible for a lot her her woes, along with the dismantling of Hope Mach in the past couple month. Chains quickly took it to Malibu as soon as the bell rang. Malibu turned things around and beat on Alison in the corner. Malibu came in to attack, but Alison took her down with a chain wrapped Dragon Screw. Back forth they fought, with the chain coming into play every now and then, scraping the line of a disqualification. Finally, Sunny had enough, and wrapped the chain around Alison's neck, leading to a DQ. She tried choking out Chains, as Hope Mach ran down to chase off Sunny.

Makoto Angel: Wow. Chains is smiling. She's bleeding, red in the face, and smiling. Maybe she's happy that she pushed so many buttons and made Malibu snap? Still, she doesn't end up with the title. Will she get a rematch, or will Hope Mach try again to beat Sunny Malibu?

5. 10-Man Tag: w00t/Maurice/Cadmus/Cade/Masked Man[o] beat Bashin Dan/Tack Angel[x]/Kinniku Mike/Amigo/Magnum PT via Cradle Piledriver -> Pin
-Main event time for Christmas, as Triple Crown Champion Bashin Dan, Tack Angel, and the Weekend Wrecking Crew took on w00t and his team, including another Masked Man. A free for all brawl, with everyone getting in their spots to the delight of the crowd, but not intentionally, because that would denote it was a predetermined. It was just an amazing coincidence. The Masked Man was deceptively good, as he threw kicks with Tack Angel. The Masked Man kicked Tack in the groin, but Tack was wearing his cup, and caught the fought between his legs laughing. The Masked Man threw a head kick with his other foot, and flattened Tack. He got his foot on the ropes for the break, but w00t took it off before the ref could see it. w00t's team with the win.

Larry Grim: w00t's team with the win. What a horrible lump of coal. Is Christmas ruined?

Makoto Angel: No. Look! Tack is holding hands with his team mates in a circle in the ring? Is he....is he singing?

Tack Angel: Fah who foraze! Dah who doraze! Welcome Christmas, come this way! Fah who foraze! Dah who doraze! Welcome Christmas, Christmas Day!

Kinniku Mike: Dude, this is lame as hell.

Amigo: I'm going to have to agree.

Magnum PT: This ain't it Chief.

Bashin Dan: I appreciate the effort.

Tack Angel: Yeah, you're right this sucks. Let's just go home.

Makoto Angel: Well...I guess never mind then.

Larry Grim: Perhaps the spirit of Christmas is trying to enjoy it DESPITE the cringe of the season? Merry Christmas everyone!

Backstage

As a grumpy Tack walked back to his locker room....

Tack Angel: Bah Humbug. Those jerks keep trying to kick me in the dick! Enough already! Next time I see one of them, I'm gonna-

Amy Angel: Hey Tack? Come on in here.

Tack Angel: Huh?

Tack opened his dressing room door to find Amy Angel, dressed as a naughty elf.

Amy Angel: We were wondering if you want to unwrap your present a little early?

Tack Angel: .....

EBW World

Nerma: Nerma here, and I'm back for EBW World, because we are counting down to Last Clash 2020. It's going to be a big one folks. Can you feel it? Feels like the end of an era, and the beginning of a new one. I don't think any of us are going to be the same going into 2021. We'll soon be celebrating 15 years of EBW. Can you believe it? 15 years of....well all of this?! It's crazy to think about. It promises to be a banner year for the company, and the sport as a whole, but we're not there yet. We still have so much unfinished business. President Swift teased an announcement on Xperience, but he didn't drop the bombshell just yet. I'm thinking we'll see it on Xcite, because he keeps reading those books on anticipation and marketing. Hey, he's getting better right? We have one more week before Last Clash, and that means, more Xcite, one last Xcite for the year 2020. We'll be going to Winters, because it's so damn cold, we might as well lean into the madness and get frostbite. We'll see Mav Valentine back in action, as he settles the score with w00t, and shows that he's ready for his title challenge at Last Clash against our Triple Crown Champion Bashin Dan. We'll also see the women of EBW pair off into two teams for a HUGE Women's Team Battle Royale. Jammer will take on Colton "The Rumble" Sbarrge, to bring SOME closure to this feud between basketball and football, but who will prevail? TackForce will join forces against Cadmus/Cade/Maurice, and their new hired gun. Subculture will especially be looking for revenge on Cadmus, just like Tack, so he better be ready, because he's got a target on him. The show will open with Firebrand X taking on Magnum PT, a man who has gone from rough loss after rough loss, to a trip to Edo, and suddenly an undefeated singles streak upon return. That's a hot way to open the show. I'm not done though. Apparently, we're also going to get the contract signing for 3 Stages of Hell, and of course, the liability waver one would thing. The contract signing SHOULD reveal to us the 3 matches that will be used for 3 Stages of Hell. It's not one to miss, but what Xcite ever is? Don't miss it!

Earlier Today...

Split screen Lakitus showed Trevor Mach and Challenge Champion Picky Minch entering the arena. Picky looked in good shape, in a track suit, with w00t, Dae Montell, and all their associates behind him. Mach meanwhile looked tired, covering his eyes with his aviator shades as he popped the collar of his denim jacket to try and stay out of view.

Tess's Office

Christina Angel and Hope Mach walked into the room, looking around for Muscle Girl Security.

Tess: They're not here. It's just me.

Christina Angel: Like I can believe that.

Tess: *sigh* You need to pause the hostility. This goes beyond our petty feuds.

Hope Mach: You hate my Mom. You hate me, and you even hate Christina. It doesn't matter if I believe you or not, you still hate us.

Tess: I hate....the divide we find ourselves in. I'm a villain to you, but you've been villains to me. All I want, is to make women's wrestling what I believe it can be.

Christina Angel: Not all of us what to get our tits out for ratings. You make me want to work harder in the ring to bring ratings. You make feel that any time I'm feeling sexy, I'm reminded that I'm better off covering up.

Tess: Which can't be easy for you I'm sure. Covering up I mean....yeah you're an Angel alright. If only you'd embrace that, you could attract far more attention.

Hope Mach: We'd rather entertain in our way. We're not going to be able to compromise on this. You know that. So, why are we here?

Tess: I'm trying to extend an olive branch. Christina, I'm willing to talk to Erica, and get her to rescind the gauntlet. Hope, I'm willing to book you in a match with Sunny Malibu.

Hope Mach: ...What's the catch?

Tess: No catch. This is a legit offer, but I'm only going to make it once.

Christina Angel: I don't want anything from you. Not anymore. Never again. I'll take on the gauntlet, I'll win, and I'll face off with Erica. She'll look into my eyes, and she'll know, that she's in the ring with a different kind of Christina. This won't be like any match we've had before. I refuse to lose.

Tess: ....Hope?

Hope Mach: She pretty much covered it. I think we're good. You've tried to take everything from me. I'm lucky I can hear again outside of the ring. I'm lucky that I wasn't blinded by your bitch brigade either, so I can see and hear you when I tell you to your olive branch, and shove it!

Tess: *sigh* Well, at least I can say I tried. That's fine girls. You'll get everything you have coming to you. I don't even care if you're grateful. You can leave now.

As they shut the door, Duvalie lowered herself from the ceiling.

Duvalie: At least you tried Mistress. Very wise of you to not truly face them alone.

Tess: I'm not stupid Duvalie. I know what I'm doing. At all times, I know what I'm doing.

Duvalie: Yes, of course.

Tess: By the way, I want you to be honest with me on something. Did you attack Tali?

Duvalie: Mistress, I will admit that I could have many times. That being said, I give you my word that I did not, and neither did Sunny Malibu. She learned her tricks from me, and this was not...."elegant".

Tess: ....It's familiar though right? A very similar thing happened to-

Duvalie: Aly Smash? Yes Mistress.

Tess: Someone is doing their homework huh?

Duvalie: It would appear so Mistress.

Tess: ...Interesting.





Tommy Dukes: Welcome to Winters! It's cold as hell out there, but we're here, inside the Winters Heated Auditorium for Xcite, the "Countdown to Last Clash"! That's right this it folks! The final stop before the big show. Level Up Wrestling is pre-empted until the following week, and Xperience will be a special look back episode, but wait, don't decide you're not going to watch it just yet! I can feel those ratings draining away already. You need to watch, because we will be holding a very special award ceremony. It's the end of the year...TACKY AWARDS!

Nerma: ....What?

Tommy Dukes: That's right! Decided upon by the Academy of Tacks and Sciences, the Tacky Awards will be given out in several categories, and this is something worth winning folks. Prestige, money, and fame, all come from winning a Tacky!

Nerma: .....Really?

Tommy Dukes: Work with me here Nerma.

Nerma: Whatever. I'm too cold to argue.

Tommy Dukes: You should wear these extra gloves. My hands are getting sweaty anyways.

Nerma: ....You have an extra pair of gloves this entire time?

Tommy Dukes: Yeah. We're in Winters.

Nerma: I'm going to kill you.

Tommy Dukes: Eh?

Nerma: ....So if you have ENN+, you witnessed more domination from the "War Kings". Golvoth and Schrieffer dominated Saxon and Novus, while Ilya Fedorovich fed Dirk Laramie yet another loss and-

Dirk Laramie: I am sick of this! I'm so sick of it! I can't go out on a bad note! 2020 was supposed to be my year! I was going to move out of the Panel Van! Dick Wagner is off drinking with PT and the Weekend Wrecking Crew, and my Neon Rookie Cup is worthless these days! The only thing I have left is my mighty mustache, and people are trying to say PT has a better one of those too?! That's my limit! I'm challenging Magnum PT! I want to go Mustache vs. Mustache at Last Clash! 

Nerma: He already has a match. He's in the Weekend Wrecking Crew remember? They're going to face the "War Kings".

Dirk Laramie: But, that was going to be my conclusive victory to end the year on a high note!

Tommy Dukes: ...Well....it's not gonna be.

Dirk Laramie: BAH! Fine! I'll get him next year! At least this year can end with me winning the "Dirk Laramie of the Year" Tacky Award.

Nerma: ....Is that a real thing Tommy?

Tommy Dukes: Uh...I want to say no, but-

Nerma: GIVE ME THOSE GLOVES!

0. Dark Match Tag: Golvoth[o]/Radzi Schrieffer beat Saxon/Nouvs[x] via Chokeslam -> Pin
0. Dark Match Singles: Ilya Fedorovich beat Dirk Laramie via Corkscrew Flying Uppercut -> Pin
1. Singles: Magnum PT vs. Firebrand X ended in a No Contest
-The opening contest saw Magnum PT and Firebrand X putting on a clinic. The resurrection of PT was completed, with him holding his own against the former World Champion and E1 winner. However, Dirk Laramie decided to spoil the fun and attacked them both, claiming to have the best mustache. He then realized the error of his ways and tried to apologize, but was taken out with a double chokeslam.

Tommy Dukes: Well, that was certainly amusing. Way to end the year Dirk.

Nerma: That poor guy.

Tommy Dukes: Yeah...what a "Dirkhead". Am I right? "Dirkhead"?

Nerma: ...*snicker*

Tommy Dukes: I got you!

Nerma: Shut up. *blush*

2. 8-Man Tag: Tack Angel/Subculture[o]/LG Rod/Randy no Kachi beat Cadmus[x]/Maurice/Cade/Masked Man via KO Punch -> Pin
-In the final showdown before Last Clash, Tack lead Subculture and TackForce against Cadmus, and his associates. Subculture took his arm out of a sling for this bout, and did everything he could to get his hands on Cadmus. The Dark Star Emperor was up to his old tricks, but Tack and Subculture worked in tandem to wear him down. The Masked Man seemed to wander off during the match, leaving the team short one person, and that allowed Subbie to blast Cadmus with the KO Punch for the pin and the win.

Tommy Dukes: And that's a win for Tack's team! Subculture with a measure of revenge. How sweet it is.

Tack Angel: Hey Cadmus, where are you going? Oh that's right, you don't like to stick around when you lose. You prefer to cower and hide. Well let me tell you this. When I beat you once and for all, I want you to cower and hide for a loooooong time. And if you don't-

Subculture: I've got another KO with your name on it.

Cadmus: Cute. Real cute. We had to rely on an uncertain entity in that match, and they left us weakened. When it's just you and me, that's not going to happen. I'm going to win. I'm going to take your Kingdom, and I will be the TRUE Constellation King.

Tack Angel: I don't care! All I care about is kicking your head in. You'll start off the new year picking up your teeth, and I'll usher in the next "Tackade"!

Cadmus: "Tackade"?

Subculture: You were so close to not being embarrassing there.

Tack Angel: Hey, I'm getting better then!

3. Singles: Jammer beat Colton "The Rumble" Sbarrge via Rear Naked Choke -> Submission
-Jammer brought an end to his year, with the end of a rivalry that was nearly forgotten about. Colton "The Rumble" Sbarrge has shown his ability to adapt to the ring, but Jammer had the experience, and the desire to beat his football rivals once and for all. A miss Slam Jam opened up Sbarrge to go for a tackle, but Jammer wrapped around him, and locked in the Rear Naked Choke. Not used to submission wrestling as much, Jammer held on for dear life as Sbarrge tried to escape, but he eventually fell to the mat and submitted.

Tommy Dukes: He did it! That's the cap off to an "interesting" year for Jammer. Last year, he was a man on a mission, and this year was back to basics for the Slam Master, but he has definitely shown that he can rise up the challenge and claim that Triple Crown again someday soon.

4. Women's Team Battle Royale: Hope Mach/Christina Angel/Alison Chains/BeShemoth/Gold/Lainey Strong/Lt. Lacy Wagner/Jessica James/Jenny James vs. Erica/Kaie/Duvalie/Eve/Bev/Raza/Kimber Blaze/Calamity Jane/Sunny Malibu Winners:

Hope Mach and Alison Chains

-An all out free for all, that perfectly encompassed the Women's Division in 2020 saw two teams battle it out in a Battle Royale. Kimber Blaze and Calamity Jane found themselves on the Eisenritter team, but had no issues eliminating Bev, to show they weren't aligned with the team. Lainey Strong and Lt. Wagner evened the score with their former partners by eliminating them. A very personal bout, a large cluster of the women were eliminated all at once, when the James Sisters rushed them and sacrificed themselves, to leave Alison Chains and Hope Mach with Sunny Malibu. The defiant Malibu tried to fight them off, but the two women managed to toss her out, winning the match for their team.

Nerma: And THAT is what you like to see. Chains and Hope both wanted a piece of Sunny, and thanks to the James Sisters they made that happen. Erica and Christina are still brawling on the outside! This is getting out of control! We might need security! This is definitely not over here, and is only going to get more personal, when Christina runs the gauntlet at Last Clash.

It was now time for the contract signing between EBW Challenge Champion Picky Minch and Trevor Mach. Picky came out with w00t and Maurice, while Trevor Mach walked out alone, tired and fed up. They both sat opposite side of the table.

w00t: Well, here we are then. Look at this scene that is all thanks to yours truly. Dae Montell and myself helped Picky realize that he was so much more than the "mess" in this other chair here and-

Trevor Mach: w00t, if you don't want me shoving that mic down your throat, you'll pipe the hell down. I'm here to sign a contract, then I'm going back to the hospital.

Picky Minch: Are you not training for this match? Are you not taking it seriously? I don't want to hear that Trevor. I want your best. I want no excus-

Trevor Mach: Believe me Picky, I'm staring daggers into you under these shades. I'm taking this as seriously as I can, and you can tell, because I didn't bring out my clown nose.

Picky Minch: Making jokes?

Trevor Mach: You want me to be making jokes right now. It beats the alternative, and that's me putting you through this damn table. Don't make me do that. It's so damned cliche.

Picky Minch: Let's get down to business. The three matches....what are they going to be?

Trevor Mach: Oh, well never let it be said that I'm not fair. I'm going to pick the first and third matches, but you can pick the second.

Picky Minch: Wow....how generous.

Trevor Mach: The first match, a standard match. Obviously.

Picky Minch: Uh-huh, well then the second match will be a No Rules match. I should beat you two times by then, but what if we get to the third match?

Trevor Mach: Steel Cage. No escape. No stoppage. Pinfall or submission only. Like you said. No excuses.

Picky Minch: Fine.

Trevor Mach: I want to make this clear. This is it Picky. "Zero Hour". If you win, you'll be known as being better, maybe even the best, but if I beat you, the "Bushido Renegade" lives to fight another day, and you back the hell off of me. Deal?

Picky Minch: Deal.

They both signed the contract.

Picky Minch: ....To the end.

Trevor Mach: *nods*

w00t: Just think Mach, if you had never gotten in the way of my Presidency, this sort of thing wouldn't have to ha-

Mach suddenly lifted up w00t and hit the Spinebuster through the table.

Trevor Mach: Well shoot, you made me bust out the cliche after all. Hey Mav, he's ready for you!

5. Singles: Mav Valentine beat w00t via Mav Buster -> Pin
-Main event time, as Triple Crown Champion Bashin Dan watched his Last Clash opponent Mav Valentine take on w00t, who was already on the mat, picking pieces of table out of his clothes. Mav had the advantage the whole match, and played up to the crowd. A staggered w00t tried a wKo, but Mav pushed him off, and hit the Mav Buster in retaliation. 1-2-3, Mav Valentine with an easy win over a barely there w00t.

Mav Valentine: Thanks for the assist Mach, but that win was coming either way. I'm feeling good! The year is almost over, and I'm going to get my titles back! Yeah, I see you watching Dan. I know I make it look easy. I know I make it look good. I know what to expect from you this time, so if you think-

Cade: If you think, I'm going to just forget about what you did, you're out of your mind. I told you I didn't give up, and you called for the bell anyways.

Mav Valentine: That's bullshit Cade. You didn't say a thing. You passed out. I called that down the line, and you got a fair shot, which was more than you deserved. Now, I'm getting MY fair shot.

w00t: H-hold it. Hold it right there. This injustice has gone on enough. I think you know that Cade and I won't allow that to happen. Cade and I-

President Swift: Won't be anywhere NEAR the ring! You're NOT getting involved. Because yours truly WILL be the Special Enforcer, and if you try to go near that ring, you'll feel a Presidential POOOOOUNCE!

Tommy Dukes: Wow! That's the announcement from the President! He's going to make sure that Dan vs. Valentine II is going to be a fair fight, and w00t and Cade won't be getting involved! That's going to be a great bout to issue in the new year! The first match of 2021! It's all going to go down at Last Clash 2020! We'll see you there!

Tommy Dukes: Welcome to Saturn City! We are outside of the Saturn Dome, where thousands have gathered to kick off the end of the year, and celebrate the beginning of 2021! This is it folks! The end of an era, and the beginning of a new one! Can you feel it? CAN YOU FEEL IT?!

Nerma: I don't feel much! It's cold, and my feet are swollen!

Tommy Dukes: Put your feet up baby.

Larry Grim: Don't worry Nerma, you're not due for a couple months still. However, someone is- wait....spoilers. I'll keep that to myself. This is a big night folks. The culmination of this year's bloody rivalries. We have broken bodies limping over the finish line, and we have triumphant champions trying to solidify their legacies.

Makoto Angel: And don't forget true heroes, fighting in the names of their family! Christina's running the gauntlet tonight! Hope Mach is stepping up against Sunny Malibu again! Chrissy is standing up to Kimber Blaze. In the Women's Division right now, it's all about honor and family.

Tommy Dukes: Well then you can't forget about your husband Tack, cause he's facing Cadmus one last time, with everything at stake. No more escalation folks. No more waiting. We're here. Finally.

Nerma: 3 Stages of Hell people. Picky Minch and Trevor Mach are throwing everything they've got at each other, in one of the most personal blood feuds we've seen in some time.

Tommy Dukes: That's the "Last Match of 2020", but the "First Match of 2021" will see Bashin Dan put the Triple Crown on the line against former Champ Mav Valentine. Their last match got 5 Stars by Tuna Meltzer, so they have a lot to live up to. I know they will. How could they not? It's Last Clash baby! Let's not waste anymore time! We're kicking things off with Benjamin defending the Television Championship against Firebrand X. The last time they fought, Benji took X to the distance in a Bushido Rules match. What's going to happen this time? Only one way to find out.

Tommy Dukes, Nerma, Larry Grim, and Makoto Angel: LET'S TAKE IT TO THE RING!

EBW: Last Clash 2020
Outside of Saturn Dome, Saturn City
ENN+

1. EBW Television Championship:

Benjamin(c) beat Firebrand X via Excalibur -> Pin -> Title Defense!

-Workrate was the key word, and while we try to figure out if that's really one word, and what does it really mean in a world where wrestling is real, we're missing out on a hot opener to start the show. Firebrand X battered Benjamin in the early going, working over his spearing shoulder, and keeping him suppressed on the mat. Benji showed that he had picked up on his ground game, and tried to match the experience of X, but to no avail, as the hybrid fighter continued to work him over. Unable to get a pin, Firebrand lifted Benjamin for a Crash Thunder Buster, but Benji escaped, and hit a weak spear. It wasn't enough to keep X down long, but enough to allow the "Mystic Bout Machine" to catch his breath and get back into the game. Benji avoided X’s additional offense, before the two wrestlers went back and forth with pin attempts. Benjamin charged at Firebrand and hit a flying forearm. He tired to charge again, but was backdropped by X to ringside. Firebrand came off the ropes with an Asai Moonasult. He dragged Benji to the middle of the ring, but only got 2 on a pin attempt. After another pin attempt by X, Benji turned the tables and landed a surprising Capoiera Kick. He launched at X and hit the Spear, but made no pin attempt. He hit a Frankensteiner on X from the corner, but before we could wonder how that move got its name in the EBW univervse, he followed up with an elbow drop. Benji worked over X, who mounted a comeback with stiff punches and a clothesline. From the apron, X hit Benji with a pump kick and came over the ropes with a rolling thunder for a nearfall. Firebrand got Benji into the corner and hit a spike DDT for another two count. He set up for the Fire Thunder Driver. but Benji escaped and ran the ropes to hit another Spear. He made a symbolic gesture with his hands, pulling out a mystical sword, and went to the middle rope, where he smashed a staggered Firebrand X with the Excalibur! He rolled the veteran up and pinned him for the title defense!

Tommy Dukes: That's how you start a show! That has to be Benjamin's biggest win to date! He is on a roll! He just keeps getting better and better! Can't get enough of this guy! Put him in your boy stable folks, cause he's hot to trot!

Nerma: That really does have to be his biggest win. Firebrand X is an E1 Climax winner. He's former World Champion. He's held so many titles, and been such a lynch pin in EBW. Acting more like a wall for the young talent these days, we just saw Benjamin smash through that wall. A very deserving Television Champion.

Makoto Angel: And THAT was just the first match. Fans, hold on tight, because up next, we're going to see Christina Angel, the best and brightest of us, running the gauntlet to try and face Erica one more time in 2020 for the Women's World Championship!

2. EBW Women's World Championship Gauntlet:

-Christina Angel beat Kaie via Super Kick -> Pin
-Christina Angel beat Eve via Roll Up -> Pin
-Christina Angel beat Duvalie via DQ
-Christina Angel beat Erica(c) via WRIST CLUTCH Angel Driver -> Pin -> NEW EBW Women's World Champion!

-Match 1: Christina Angel had an uphill battle ahead, but looked to be focused on the opponent in the ring, and now Erica, who was still up in the VIP Box with Tess. Christina hit Kaie with a hip toss and sent her back to the matc with a dropkick. Once she recovered, "The Celtic Warrior" shook it off , and rushed Christina, but she was met with a kick to the dome, and an armbar takedown. Kaie took a powder at ringside once she escaped. Christina dove to the outside but Kaie countered the move with a hard elbow. Back in the ring, Kaie turned the tide with a backstabber, but could only manage a two-count. Kaie tried for another pin after hitting a clothesline and neckbreaker, but kicked out again. Kaie hit a blockbuster and covered Christina for another two-count. Kaie continued to dominate from here, but Christina battled back, with some hard kicks, a jumping hip attack, and a scoop slam. She fired up and nailed a Superkick onto Kaie for the 1-2-3. The first match won, Christina yelled for Erica to get ready. The Champ took her last sip of champagne, as Bev and Raza began to put on her "Golden Gear".

-Match 2: Eve stepped in for the second match. An unofficial member of Eisenritter, but her being Erica's sister, showed that was more a way to try and mask nepotism....which failed. Eve snuck up behind a recovering Christina, and threw her into the ringpost. She fit forearms to the back, and chokeslammed her. Eve covered for two and then locked in an arm wrench. Christina fought her way out, but Eve then locked in the same arm wrench over the ropes, causing the ref to break it up. Eve then delivered a big boot into a cover for two. Eve started flexing the guns, and showing off in a way that would get her banned on Twitch. As he simps threw he bucks, Christina kipped up and blasted her with a kick to the head. As she staggered, Christina quickly rolled her up for the 1-2-3. Two matches down, and Christina was still on her feet. The camera cut to Erica behind the entrance curtain, whispering to Duvalie, as she smiled, bowed, and made her way out.

-Match 3: Duvalie was up next, as the assassin maid bowed, before squaring up the fired up Christina. Christina immediately went for the legs, taking Duvalie down. Duvalie retreated to the corner, and Christina followed with some strikes. Duvalie reversed, putting Christina in the corner this time and began pummeling her. She shot Christina off the ropes and looked for a clothesline. Christina ducked and went for a handspring move of some sort, but unfortunately slipped on her flip and landed square on her head. The crowd even felt that one, Duvalie took control, and tried working over Christina's legs. Using the ring post as leverage, she cranked on Christina's legs hard, despite the ref telling her to stop. The ref did the count, but when she wouldn't break the hold, she got herself DQ'd. It seemed the real goal of this match was to leave Christina on shaky legs, as the Women's World Champion made a glorious golden entrance.

-Match 4: Gut check time for Christina, as the daughter of Tack Angel pulled herself up with ropes, and fired up as Erica entered the ring. Erica didn't waint for the championship announcements and went straight to it. She got the first sustained advantage. Kick Christina's legs, and working her over, before easily hitting the Air Raid Crash, but Christina got her hand on the ropes. Erica was shocked that Christina still had anything left, as she put her in the Figure-4. Christina screamed and clawed her way to the ropes to escape that as well. Christina got back to her feet, and told Erica to bring it on. Collar and elbow. Neither could out-power the other. Collar and elbow again, and Christina wrenched Erica’s left arm and leaned on it. Erica grabbed the hair but Christina back-elbowed her. Waistlock takedown by Erica, but Christina backed her into a turnbuckle. Erica went for a Celtic whip, reversed, and Christina hit a dropkick from the corner. Her legs were wobbly, but she stomped down on the mat, and gritted her teeth through the pain, as she went for a high kick, but Erica caught it, and brought her down with an elbow to the knee. Erica kept targeting the legs, but Christina, out worked her on the mat, and locked in the Rear Naked Choke. She held it to catch her breath, but Erica showed just how strong she is, but working her way to her feet, and backing Christina into the corner. She celebrated, but turned around and ate a Super Kick to the face. As Erica got to her knees she ate another Super Kick, and then another, and it appeared she lost a tooth in the process, but she somehow got back to her feet. She applied the choke in the corner, and tossed Christina to the middle of the ring. The "Golden Queen" was furious as the blood spilled out of her mouth. She lifted Christina up for the Air Raid Crash, but Christina fought out. A series of hard slaps later, and Christina managed to get the better of a lock up, allowing her to CLUTCH the WRIST for the WRIST CLUTH Angel Driver. The crowd chanted with the ref. 1-2-3! Christina Angel survived the gauntlet, won the match, and became one again the EBW Women's World Champion!

Makoto Angel: SHE DID IT! I KNEW SHE COULD DO IT! CHRISTINA! YEAH!

Tommy Dukes: Unbelievable is cliche thrown around a lot, but that was truly unbeeeelievable! Christina has completed her revenge road against Eisenritter. She has reclaimed the Women's World Champion, after earlier reclaiming the Women's World Tag Team Championships. The way she did all of it, really solidifies her as THE ACE of Women's Wrestling. I guess it's in that Angel blood.

Larry Grim: She's got a will of her own. She's no carbon copy of Tack Angel. You've got the resilientness of Amy in there too, and he own unique deterimination. I can literally see that on a biological level.

Nerma: You're weird dude.

Larry Grim: I know.

Nerma: We still love you though.

Makoto Angel: Take THAT Eisenritter! She's grabbing the mic!

Christina Angel: THAT is what happens when you mess with family. A few years ago, I didn't want any part of the "extended family", but I learned that family is special no matter how odd it is, and those bonds give us strength. My love for Subculture gives me strength. The pride my father feels in me, that gives me strength. My true family is stronger than your fake "family" Erica, and Eisenritter learned a hard lesson today. The backstabbers that wanted my family out of EBW are going to learn that lesson too. Christina ANGEL is on top, and I dare any of you, to try and topple me over.




Cadmus: This has been a long time coming. The end of the games. The end of the struggles. This is the war at the edge of the end, and it's mine to win.

-

Tack Angel: It's gone on more than enough. My year has been all about you, and it's time to end this.

-

Cadmus: I will be the Dark Star Emperor, and atop my throne in MY Crystal Empire, I will then go on to become the Triple Crown World Champion. Simple as that.

-

Tack Angel: You talk big, but you dress like a stuffy aristocrat, and you possibly have sex with your sister. You're weird. You're sick. You're deranged. The way you've gone after me and my family, all for a crown? A throne? A title? This isn't about any of that. You made it WAY too personal.

-

Cadmus: Nothing he did could stop me all year. What makes him think it's going to happen tonight?

-

Tack Angel: You lose and you're done. I can FINALLY move on, and make 2021 the year Tack Angel spread his wings and soared to the heavens once again. No one is going to shine as brightly as I will. Knowing you'll have to watch it all happen, is the payment of what you owe me, for a year of my career and my life.

-

Cadmus: Tonight, I will ASCEND!

-

Tack Angel: Tonight, you're expecting a "Star Prince", but the "Pushpin Seraphim" is going to kick your ass. Plain and simple. I don't go into the ring with malice, but I admit, I'm going to enjoy the hell out of this.

3. All or Nothing:

Tack Angel beat Cadmus via WRIST CLUTCH Heaven Driver -> Pin

-Cadmus played up to the crowd before the start of the bell, but he and no one else watching expected Tack Angel to rush him with a kick to the backside. Once the match officially began, Tack continued to control Cadmus, working over him on the mat. Cadmus made his way to the apron for a breather but was sent to the floor courtesy of a handstand double boot from Angel. Back in the ring, Cadmus begged for mercy to no avail, as Tack hit an inverted atomic drop. Tack locked in an armbreaker. Cadmus managed to escape and hit a big boot before taking to the top rope and hitting a diving clothesline on Tack at ringside. Cadmus sent Tack into the ringside barrier and brought him back into the ring. Cadmus tried to pin Tack, but could only manage a one-count. Tack started to mount a comeback but was cut off by a Cadmus sleeper hold. Cadmus wanted to hit the Dark Star Cutter from here, but Tack drove him backwards into the corner and hit a back elbow to escape the hold. Tack grounded Cadmus and unloaded on him, with vicious kicks to the head. Cadmus made it back to his feet and attempted a hip toss, which Tack reversed into a cartwheel dropkick, a unique move for the very mobile big man. Tack hit a palm strike which led to a short-arm curb stomp. Tack upped the aggression and continued to stomp away at Cadmus, before repeatedly pulling him into the ring post. Cadmus managed to get away from Tack but ended up in another corner, where he ate more kicks. Cadmus finally fired back with some hard slaps, and a kick to the midsection. He hit a powerbomb but Tack quickly kicked out of the pin conversion. Cadmus went for the Dark Star Cutter, but Tack countered out, and went big. Not a WRIST CLUTCH Angel Driver, but a WRIST CLUTCH HEAVEN DRIVER! 1-2-3!

Makoto Angel: HE DID IT! HE DID IT! YES! I LOVE YOU SWEETNESS!

Tommy Dukes: Another big Angel win tonight! Huge! Here come the wives to embrace their conquering hero. How you feeling about this Nerma?

Nerma: I can't help but be happy. The Angels earned those wins tonight. That was a defiant Tack. A committed Tack. I mean holy shit, when was the last time we saw that fire! The old Ace has offically returned! It can't be denied. I'm going to write so much slash fiction about this!

Tommy Dukes: Huh?

Nerma: Nothing!

Larry Grim: Yeah, you can feel it. Tack Angel is going into 2021, with the intensity needed to reclaim his title of Ace.

4. 6-Woman No Rules Tag:

Hope Mach[o]/Jessica James/Jenny James beat Sunny Malibu/Bev/Raza[x] via Olympic Slam -> Pin

-The energy from the last bout, gave Hope Mach and the James Sisters a lot of momentum, as they went to work against Television Champion Sunny Malibu, Bev, and Raza. The later part of the year saw Sunny Malibu try to take everything from Hope Mach, but she just kept coming back, and now had the James Sisters watching her back in this No Rule environment. Mostly a brawl on the outside, with weapons a plenty, this was not like the technical spectacles we had already seen in the night. Hope battered Sunny with a chair, and hit a Spinebuster through a table set up by the James Sisters. They worked on getting Muscle Girl Security into the crowd to fight, while Hope dragged Sunny back into the ring. With the crowd on her side, she tore into Sunny with punches and kicks. Alison Chains came out and tossed Hope a chain, which she wrapped around her fist, to clobber the staggered Malibu. In the middle of the ring Hope hit the Olympic Slam on Sunny Malibu and pinned her for the win.

5. Women's Singles:

Kimber Blaze beat Chrissy Angel via Eagleland Rack -> Stoppage

-Another solid Women's Division bout, saw Kimber Blaze, come out on a motorcycle with a twisted version of the Eagleland flag, to take on the young rookie Chrissy Angel, standing up for her family, against one of the women who signed the petition, banning the Angel Wives from competition. Chrissy charged immediately with a dropkick and stomps in the corner. Cannonball for a two count. Blaze shoved Chrissy off and slapped her. Chrissy responded by throwing chops and shots. Blaze took down Angel and hit her on the back of the head with an axe kick. Huracanrana by Chrissy. Chop. Blaze blocked a Celtic Whip and hit a hard forearm. She started using her power to throw Chrissy around the ring. Chrissy backed into a corner and ate a series of boots, before Blaze lifted her up, and flexed that Eagleland Muscle with a Chokeslam Sitout Powerbomb. 1-2-KICKOUT! Chrissy survived, but Kimber lifted her up into the Eagleland Rack. Unable to escape, she also refused to submit, and the referee had to end the match in a Stoppage.

Makoto Angel: Oh no...Chrissy. She tried her best, but she's still very new to all of this. She's like my age when I first started fight the nega-nevermind.

Larry Grim: It's alright....I know.

Makoto Angel: Yeah, you get me.

Nerma: A good effort, but Kimber Blaze continues her rise. She's making a belt motion with her arms. Is she thinking about challenging the new Women's World Champion?

Makoto Angel: She won't be hard to find. I can tell you that for sure.




Hazen: We are the "War Kings". We have come all over Euroland to show your pitiful Eagleland weaklings, what true power and true wrestling is all about. No one who has tried to stand in our way has met the challenge. We finally have a chance to make an example of some worty opponents, but not because they are good. You might consider them to be the best, but in reality they are true icons of Eagleland in other ways. Sex obessed, fat, lazy Eaglelanders, and the one shining beacon. The man from Anahauc Amigo, with wrestling skill that could match ours....maybe...but never exceed, because we have a willpower that his experience will never make up for. An iron will, that will drop an iron curtain all around EBW, and make it the dominion of the "War Kings"

6. 6-Man Tag:

Hazen[o]/Radzi Schrieffer/Ilya Fedorovich beat Kinniku Mike[x]/Amigo/Magnum PT via Spinning Side Slam -> Pin

-The "War Kings" matched up with the "Weekend Wrecking Crew" in a ballistic 6-Man Tag. A hard hitting display of quick tags, and hard hits. Fedorovich and Amigo opened. Quick reversals led to a takedown by Amigo. Fedorovich rolled him into an armbar, but Amigo reached to ropes. After a strike exchange, Amigo hit a powerslam on Fedorovich. Radzi Sherieffer tagged in and hit an uppercut on Amigo for a one count. He blocked a couple of kicks and hit a palm strike. Mike tagged in and hit a backbreaker for one. Radzi hit a chop and a Snap Mare. He hit Mike with a some uppercuts and wrenched the arm, but Mike chopped his way out and tagged Magnum PT. Tandem kick by Mike and PT, and PT covered Radzi for a nearfall. Hazen tagged in and stomped PT in a neutral corner. PT tried to come back with some forearms, but Hazen ate them and knocked PT down with a Double Axe Handle. More tag sequences saw the various members match up, but Hazen kept himself restrained, eyes fixated on Kinniku Mike specifically. Late in the bout Amigo and PT found themselves on the outside with the "War Kings" as Hazen and Mike finally went all out, with hard hits and big power moves. Mike was unable to hit the Muscle Buster, Hazen grabbed the ropes, and pulled him over the ropes to ringside. Back in the ring, Mike tried a Hagen Suplex, but Hazen countered it with one of his own. He battered Mike on the ground, and ground pounded almost to the point of stoppage, but Mike grabbed the ropes. He barely survived, but back on his feet Hazen hit a Spinning Sideslam that kept Mike down for the pin.

Tommy Dukes: Whoa! The "War Kings" with the win?! Hazen pins Mike?! They are unreal! A new injection of unparalled talent has invaded EBW from Euroland, and they are the "War Kings". I'd say that puts them on the map. The "War Kings" have....well declared war on the talent of EBW. They're the real deal folks. See for yourself. The hype is real. Wow.




Picky Minch: 3 Stages of Hell. The ultimate test right? He called it "Zero Hour", and I think he's right. It's the moment that I realize the man I could've been this whole time, and he realizes that he's done. I'm not a kid anymore. I don't need saved. I don't need my family. I don't need Trevor Mach. I don't need Ness and his friends. I don't need Pokey. I have myself, and that's more than enough.

Trevor Mach: I'm beaten. I'm sore. I can barely see out of my right eye. I'm tired, but I'm NOT washed up! I don't intend on going gently into that good night. It's better to burn out, than to fade away. You've made a lot of claims about me "kid", but you're wrong on all accounts. I'm not backstabbing. I'm not conniving. I'm not manipulative. I'm just me, and I make that obvious. Did you know a fire doesn't leave a shadow? It shows you all that it is, but it exposes shadows. I'm going to expose you, as just another would be slayer of the "Bushido Renegade". BOOSH!


7. "Last Match of 2020" EBW Challenge Championship "Zero Hour" 3 Stages of Hell: Picky Minch(c) vs. Trevor Mach

-Singles: Picky Minch beat Trevor Mach via Hagen Suplex -> Pin
-No Rules: Trevor Mach beat Picky Minch via Chair Assisted Knee Trigger -> Pin
-Cage: Trevor Mach beat Picky Minch via Burning Machismo x Barbed Knee Trigger -> Pin -> NEW EBW Challenge Champion!

-Stage 1: The semi-main saw Picky Minch put up the Challenge Championship against Trevor Mach, in a 3 Stages of Hell match, with pride and the gold on the line. "Zero Hour" struck, as the two stood face to face and jaw jacked for several moments as the match announcements were made. They went to their corners, with Picky putting in a mouth guard, and Mach genuflecting. The bell sounded, beginning the first stage, a standard match. Lockup and Picky backed Trevor into the corner. Trevor kicked Picky, and slapped him in the mouth but Minch continued his charge. Picky went to the second rope, faked jumping down to bait Trevor to try a knee, then hit a rana and dropkicked him out of the ring. Action spilled outside and Mach charged Picky at the stairs, but Picky moved, leaving Mach smashing his knee into the stairs. Already hard of seeing, and now clutching his knee, Picky took the advantag. He lifted Mach and drove his lower knee into the hardest part of the apron. Picky worked the leg over the apron and then rolled in, continuing to hold the leg and dropped knees on Mach’s leg. Minch rolled over Mach into a submission, but he was right at the ropes for a break. Picky stomped Mach’s leg more to continue wearing him down. Picky flipped over the rope to the outside but Mach hit a knee painful to both of them. Trevor took out Picky on the outside, then rolled him in for a neckbreaker in the middle of the ring. Knee to the back. Neckbreaker. Cover for one. Trevor tried to put a submission onto Picky, but he escaped and held an anklelock. He tried punching Mach in the knee repeatedly, but Trevor rolled through to send Picky to the turnbuckle. Back up, and they kicked each others legs, and traded hard punches and chops. Picky whipped Trevor, booted his midsection and fired up. He looked to spear Trevor, who blocked, attempting to land knees in the clinch, but Picky drove him to the mat with a fisherman’s driver for two. Mach was slow to get up, as Picky plastered him with shots, but he only got madder, yelling at Picky to hit him harder. A head butt from Picky was returned with a harsher one from Mach, who hit a Belly-to-Belly Suplex and drove his knee into Picky's neck before a nearfall pin attempt. Back and forth they fought, but Trevor's knee gave out, giving Picky the chance to hit a Hagen Suplex, and then another one, and then another one, bridging the third for the pin, giving him the first match.

-Stage 2: Trevor rolled out of the ring, as Picky followed for the No Rules portion of the bout. A street fight through and through, as they two grabbed up chairs, and battered them against each other. Picky took Trevor into the crowd and beat him all over between sections. He drove Mach’s head into a metal barricade and hit a double-axhandle from the stairs. Mach grabbed a drink and tossed it into Picky's face, and regained control. With a hard right, he managed to lock up Picky into a clinch, and threw heavy knees that busted him open. He tossed Picky to the ground, and took a selfie with a fan’s camera. The two traded blows down the line, fighting toward the announce tables, where Picky tried to set up Mach for the Hagen Suplex, but Mach shot around and smashed him through with a Hagen of his own. Mach threw Picky into the ring and hit an Ushigoroshi for a two. Jockeying for position as both guys hit a second wind. Mach slapped Picky to the mat, grabbed up a chair and used it to assist in a Knee Trigger for the 1-2-3. The score was tied 1-1.

-Stage 3: The Cage lowered around them, as they both got to their feet. They stared daggers into each other, as the cage was fastened to the ring. The cage noticeably had barbed wire around the top of it, showing that escape really wasn't an option. Weapons were also strewn about in the ring, and were left to be used in the bout. Hard fists and clotheslines to start, before Picky grabbed a kendo stick and Mach did the same. They whipped the hell out of one another, before Mach landed a vicious blow to Picky that made him drop his stick. He caned him in the knee to take him down, and hit a Yakuza Kick, followed by a Knee Trigger. 1-2-KICKOUT! Picky was clearly hurting at this point, while a fired up Mach seemed to be shaking off the damage done. Picky was thrown from cage wall to cage wall, as it became clear he was gassed out. Mach had been holding back for 3 Stages, while Picky gave everything for the first 2. Trevor found a pair of pliers, and used it to cut off a length of barbed wire from the top of the cage. He wrapped it around his fist, and hammered into Picky's forehead, before unraveling, and it wrapped it around his knee. Picky dodged the Barbed Knee Trigger, and tried one last rush, nailing a Hagen Suplex, but on the second attempted, he was countered and trapped in the Burning Machismo. A big move to be sure, but Mach was beginning to run out of steam too, and fell to the mat. They began to get up slowly, with Picky screaming at Mach as he got up first, and daring him to get it over with. Mach hit the Barbed Knee Trigger and pinned Picky Minch for the 1-2-3.

Tommy Dukes: WHAT A MATCH! WHAT A SERIES OF MATCHES! WHAT A 3 STAGES OF HELL! Very rarely have we seen anything quite like that, and it was something to behold. Picky seemed to be large and in charge in the early stages, but Mach saved it up. He played a strategic game, and it worked out. Ambition was the weakness, and Mach exploited it. He is now a 3-Time EBW Challenge Champion.

Larry Grim: He was running on fumes there. I know he and Picky both went into this injured, but they still managed to give us nearly an hour of action. How do you do that? I guess it's the rush of adrenaline. I wouldn't know. I don't have veins. Skeleton Man.

Makoto Angel: Tack's friend is looking really rough, but I'm so happy that he's able to put this to rest.

Nerma: He's helping up a defiant Picky, and giving him a hug. After all of this, he still does that? Mach's heart might be as big as his mouth, and he's got a REAL big mouth.

Tommy Dukes: Picky's barely there. He took some big hits. I hope he's not concussed or anything. Wait, what's going on now. Hope Mach is running down to the ring, but she looks like she's in a panic. She's whispering something Trevor, who is now running off with Hope. What's going on there?!

Nerma: Questions for later, because look at the time! We're here people! The last match of 2020 just happened, and it's time to bring in a NEW YEAR!

Tommy Dukes, Nerma, Larry Grim, Makoto Angel: 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

8. "First Match of 2021" EBW Triple Crown World Championship:

Bashin Dan(c) beat Mav Valentine via 2x Brave Clash -> Pin -> Title Defense! Special Enforcer: Swift

-2021 was here, so it was now main event time, as Bashin Dan put the title on the line against Mav Valentine. Valentine was shaking off an ankle injury recently, but his win over w00t put to rest doubts of his abilities. President Swift himself stood outside of the ring, to keep Cade and w00t away, making this a fair match. The two stood face to face, but with more respect than before. Mav still showed a smirk of confidence, but in his eyes, you could see a lot more focus. The bell rang and the fans fired up adding to the big match feel in Saturn City. They chanted back and forth for Dan and Valentine. The first five minutes were a slow feeling out period. Mav was respecting Dan's ground game, and protecting his ankle, but an errant elbow turned up the temp and they went at it at a fast pace. Both men went for their finishers and both men went over the top to the floor after Mav attempted the Mav Buster. Dan got the upper hand on the floor. He hit a running boot that sent Mav over the barricade. Dan then got a running start and went for a running splash over the barricade, but Mav caught him with an elbow! It looked like it connected right to Dan’s shoulder, and it looked like it hurt badly. Mav went to work on Dan, with several elbows to the shoulder, before hitting a Fisherman Buster on the floor. Mav worked over Dan’s back too, and then cranked on his neck with a chin lock. Back in the ring, Dan crawled for the ropes, but Mav locked the chin again and transitioned into the camel clutch. Dan had to fight back to his feet, laying in hard elbows and slaps, before both went hit the ropes, and collided. They both fell to the ground as Mav clutched his ankle. The pace picked up again, when they finally go to their feet, as Dan caught Mav with an elbow coming off the ropes. He hit a big DDT, but only got a 2 count. They continued going back and forth inside the ring. Dan hit a kick to the head, but Mav caught him with a snap hurricanrana. Dan rolled to the floor and Mav sent him over the railing with a dropkick to the back of the head. Valentine then hit a big springboard splash over the guardrail to the floor to wipe out the Champ. Mav pulled Dan back into the ring and followed up with the Kotaro Crusher inside the ring for a 2 count. Dan ducked a Lariat and went for a Hagen Suplex, but Mav landed on his feet. He stumbled a bit on his hurt ankle, but kept on his feet. Dan blocked a Mav Buster, but Mav went for it again right away and slammed Dan for another near fall. Mav went for a Snap Hurricanrana, but Bashin Dan hung onto the ropes! At this point Dan was taking a beating, but he looked fired up, and the heat was rising in the "Dangerous Player". Dan went up top and hit a sick dropkick on a kneeling MAv for a near fall. After kicking out, a limping Mav was now holding his ribs. Dan took him down, and went up top and dropped an elbow. Dan signaled for the Brave Clash, but Mav was playing possum and he leapt up and hit a Spinebuster.  He went for the Mav Buster again, but Dan slipped down only for Mav to turn it into a Hagen for a near fall! Another shot at the Mav Buster, but Dan escaped and hit a dropkick to the back of the head. He then caught Mav with a traditional dropkick off the ropes. Dan fired up, and let the chops fly. On the outside w00t and Cade were trying to edge closer to the ring, but President Swift grabbed a chair, and forced them back. Maurice tried to sneak up from behind, but Swift held him off as well, keeping the match protected. Back in the ring, Mav lifted up Dan, who countered him and eventually hit a tombstone. Dan had the crowd in his hands, and he signaled the Brave Clash. He shook off all the damage to finally lift Mav for the Brave Clash, but instead of going for the pin, he signaled to the crowd that he was going to hit it one more time. Mav tried to counter out, but Dan countered the counter, and hit one more Brave Clash. 1-2-3! Dan wins! Dan wins!

Tommy Dukes: WOW! The first match of 2021, and it's already my favorite!

Nerma: It would have to be dummy, but at least it lives up! That was incredible!

Larry Grim: Mav is getting helped up by Dan, and the two are shaking hands. Another honorable gesture from Mav here, but you still have Cade claiming the fix was in from the beginning. I know the truth, but I'm not telling.

Makoto Angel: So secretive! What a great match. Ending the night on a high note, and paving the way for 2021 to be the biggest and the best year for EBW yet!

Tommy Dukes: Folks we're here! The 15th year of EBW begins NOW! Happy New Year!

Saturn City Memorial Hospital

A bloody Trevor Mach ran through the hospital, with Hope not too far behind. They were stopped by Degrees.

Degrees: Whoa! Trevor! This is a sterile enviro-

Trevor Mach: No time for that! I just got called! They said something happened with Tali!

Degrees: Relax. Relax, it's not what you think. Yes, the spill did end up making a couple of complications with the baby, but-

Trevor Mach: But what?

Degrees: She was successfully delivered via cesarean.

Trevor Mach: Wait...what? Delivered?

Degrees: Yeah. They didn't tell you? She went into labor about the time your match started. Traditional birth was a no go, because she was turned around but-

Trevor Mach: She gave birth?

Degrees: Despite the complications, it was a success. You're a Daddy again.

Trevor Mach: Ha....ha....I'm getting light headed.

Hope Mach: Take a deep breath Dad. Where is she? Can we see her?

Degrees: I'd rather you put on sterile gowns, but I have a feeling that's not going to happen. Yes, you can see her. She's in her-and there they go. I'm really happy for him though. He went from being dead to being Dad. Heh. I got to write that one down. What a year am I right? Who am I talking to? I'm technically two people right? I'm allowed to talk to myself.

Trevor and Hope burst open the door, where they saw Heather Mach already there, holding Justice, and in the bed was Lady M's, holding the new bundle of joy.
 
Trevor Mach: Lady! Are you-

Lady M's: Feeling NO pain. You betcha!

Heather Mach: They've got her on some wicked pain meds cousin.

Trevor Mach: Nice.

Lady M's: They gave me this awesome new scar.

Trevor Mach: I can't wait to see that, but right now, I want to see....the little one...you've got in your arms.

Lady M's: Huh? Who? This little thing? It's weird, she kind of looks like us. It's like we made her or something.

Heather Mach: Wicked good meds.

Lady M's: No, that was just a joke. Seriously though, look at her. Meet your new daughter...Truth Mach.

Trevor opened up the blanket and saw his new daughter looking back up at him. Tears welled up in his eyes, as he gently picked her up.

Trevor Mach: *sniff* Y-you are the love.....of my life. Everything that I am....everything that I ever will be....is yours. Forever.

Heather Mach: Heh. Hope, Justice, and Truth. It's like you guys are trying to send a message or something.

Lady M's: Maybe....maybe.

Saturn Cafe

As Dan and the Dan Club celebrated the big wins tonight, Tack Angel cocked an eye brow as he sipped from his mug.

Christina Angel: What are you thinking Dad?

Tack Angel: I'm thinking I might just challenge Dan over there. I'm free from Cadmus, so the sky is the limit.

Christina Angel: Two Angel World Champions. That ought to upset a few people.

Tack Angel: Oops! Haha! Yeah, I just might and-

Suddenly, a third person joined them at the table.

Mr. 2020: Hello Tack.

Tack Angel: You! People have been looking for you.

Mr. 2020: I know, but the year is over, so my sentence is up. I'm out of here.

Tack Angel: What do you mean?

Mr. 2020: I'm getting out of here. I'm moving on. A new world is calling me.

Tack Angel: Wait. Wasn't the multiverse destroyed?

Mr. 2020: When all you have left is the vast creative energy of the Sanctum, with no "Entity" to devour it, you'd be surprised how quickly damage can be repaired. New ideas pop into consciousness, and they create new worlds. I'm going to go to one now. I don't intend to try and control it, but I want to be there, so I can observe it, and protect it, from the problems that are infecting this world.

Tack Angel: If you care so much, why don't you do something about it?

Mr. 2020: I'm not allowed any more. Chris B. Bacon, Jacob, Eris, we're all banned from any more interactions here.

Tack Angel: Eris?

Mr. 2020: She'll find a way to see you again, but the last time she tried, she was sent back.

Tack Angel: By who?

Mr. 2020: I can't tell you. I'm not allowed. I can give you a freebie though. This is a loophole, because you would piece this together in three months without me. Since you'd already do this part, we can just skip ahead.

Tack Angel: ....Alright?

Mr. 2020: Trevor holds the answers to your questions, but he doesn't remember. He wrote himself a note before he forgot. Tell him he heard it wrong. Make him think about it. He used to be one of us. That's not something you can ever entirely erase. It's in there somewhere. Also, think about who is trying to avoid him, and have them meet.

Tack Angel: ...That's all you can give me?

Mr. 2020: I literally saved you 3 months. Like to the day.

Tack Angel: Oh....well thank you?

Mr. 2020: Look, I'm sorry that I messed with your lives. I let it go to my head, but pencils have erasers, and anything can be fixed, just like the Sanctum fixed the fabric of reality.

Tack Angel: Do I have you to thank for the 108 wives?

Mr. 2020: Maybe.

Tack Angel: Well...that makes up for the nonsense doesn't it?

Mr. 2020: Sure. However, at some point, you really need to get to know every single one of "wives" inside of Amy.

Tack Angel: What?

Mr. 2020: You may or may not figure this one out, so sorry, can't say anymore. Well Tack, it's been a blast. Remember, at the end of the day, I was your biggest fan.

Tack Angel: Am I going to forget you?

Mr. 2020: That's up to you now. Completely up to you. Later.

Mr. 2020 got up and started walking away.

Tack Angel: I thought you were going to disappear.

Mr. 2020: Huh? No, I have to take a cab.

Tack Angel: Oh...well bye.

Christina Angel: ....What the hell was all of that about?

Tack Angel: 2021 daughter. It's apparently going to be busy.

There was a cold open to the show, as President Swift stood in the ring, with Tess behind him. Lucca came out as Lady M's representative.

Swift: Welcome to 2021 EBW! 6 years after the invention of hover boards, and I still don't have my damn Pepsi Perfect, but that's alright, because this year EBW is going to be perfect. We're building some huge momentum here. Can you feel it? Big things on the horizon. This shit is where it's at, but with all that attention, and all that ambition, it's easy to fall into old habits. All the lawlessness of the past. I used to revel in that shit, but being the Boss now, I can see how it can be a pain in the ass. I can't always be handling this business either. I need someone who can put the boots to asses if need be. I promised I'd announce this at the start of the year, and I'm doing it now. I have it narrowed down to people I could trust, and people who understand the position I'm in. A few people have been in charge before that have returned to the ring. I asked one of them, and they flat out said no, so I decided this time, I'd just announce who it was without asking them, because I'm the President and I can do that.

Tess: You certainly didn't ask me.

Lucca: M's approves of any decision you make sir.

Tess: Yeah, I bet she does. *sigh*

Swift: Approve...disapprove...it doesn't matter. Because....TACK ANGEL....is EBW's Sheriff!

Tess: WHAT?!

Lucca: Very good sir.

Sporting a black eye, Tack Angel limped his way down to the ring, looking very confused.

Swift: Tack, I'm counting on you to keep the peace, and make sure things get settled in the ring.

Tack Angel: I'm so confused right now. What's going on?

Swift: You get hit in the head too many times? You're EBW's new Sheriff.

Tack Angel: But! But! But! I was JUST getting back into the grove of being me again.

Swift: You don't want to be Star Prince anymore, well that's fine with me. You want to bone down with your many big breasted beauties, you can do that too, but you're going to help uphold the law in EBW too.

Tack Angel: Most of that sounds really good.

Swift: You want to be the ACE again? No better way to integrate yourself into the title picture then to represent the company, protect the company, and step up "John Tack" style.

Tack Angel: "John Tack" style? But I WANT to be seen!

Swift: Huh? Oh. Bad joke Tack.

Tack Angel: Well I didn't write it!

Swift: Look you can drop the pretense here. I know you better than most. This is part of the reason you beat Cadmus, and won your feud. You know you can do this. You're know you're good at it. You're a goofball savant. So accept it, cause I'm sticking to my decision.

Tack Angel: .....Yeah alright. Well, I'm going to get started right away then. Uh...Saxon and Novus, come out here really quickly.

Swift: What are you planning Sheriff?

Tack Angel: You'll see.

Saxon and Novus happily ran out to greet Tack.

Tack Angel: Guys, you INSISTED on being in "TackForce", and making "TackForce" to begin with. So, as Sheriff, it's my honor and pleasure to not only officially disband "TackForce", but to say that YOU'RE FI-

Swift: You can't fire people though.

Tack Angel: FINALLY READY TO BECOME BLUE SHIRT SECURITY! That's TOTALLY what I was always going to say.

Saxon: What? Blue Shirt Security?

Novus: We were Red Shirt Security.

Tack Angel: Right, but this time, it's going to be different.

Saxon: How so?

Tack Angel: The shirts.....will be blue. Furthermore I-

Cadmus: Hey! Hey Tack, we're not done! Tack! I'm talking to you! Hey!

Tack Angel: First order of business. Get THAT out of here.

The Blue Shirts ran out of the ring to block off Cadmus, and insisted he go to the back.

Tack Angel: Well, I guess I can be Sheriff and a future Triple Crown World Champion too. It's got its perks.

Swift: Well there you have it. I have my reas-

w00t: Hey! You forgetting someone!?

Swift: Oh boy.

w00t: Yeah, I'm here for you "President". You're a fake. A pretender. You talk about law and justice, but you've been serving us nothing but injustice. After Cadmus was cheated, you put us against the "War Kings" tonight?! You keep punishing us for expressing our right to free speech.

Swift: You have the right to run your mouth, and I have the right to book you against the rightful #1 Contenders. When was the last time you had to defend the rings? I could strip you of the rings, but I'm giving you a chance. I'd call that fair.

w00t: I'm getting tired of this. I'm getting so damn tired of all of this. Desperate times might call for desperate measures.

Swift: Well, whatever you have planned, take it up with the new Sheriff. People, we're not going to take up anymore time. This is the first EBW Xcite of 2021! It's January 4th! It's a huge night, and these people want to see the wrestlers wrestle! Let's do this! I SAID OUT OF THE RING!





Tommy Dukes: Welcome to the Renegade Arena! Welcome to Saturn City! Welcome to 2021! It's Xcite, and we're kicking off a brand new year!

Nerma: It's time for new possibilities, new match ups, and new action all around! My stomach is making it difficult for me to reach the desk at this point, but I'm going to stick with it!

Tommy Dukes: That bun is almost baked! Tonight, the World Team Championship rings are on the line in the main event, like you heard from President Swift and w00t. You'll also see the World Tag Team Championships on the line, when the Weekend Wrecking Crew takes on a contingent of Dan Club! It's Mustache vs. Mustache, when Magnum PT takes on Di-

?

A figure appeared in darkness, and stepped forward.

Dae Montell: I once told Cade that I'd be his personal Jesus, but he didn't listen. It's fine. That's how we learn, and I'm always around to make another deal. I'm always around to provide guidance. You want some free advice? It's simple. If you want something. Take it. If you want to do something. Do it. You have needs and desires. Why fight them? Do it for yourself? When was the last time you did something for you? Everyone have a vice. Indulge. I can always help you find your way. All you have to do, is sign in the book, right here, on the dotted line.

-

Nerma: Don't forget, we also have Hope Mach and Alison Chains. They've been allies in recent weeks, but this is for the right to face Sunny Malibu for the Television Championship. Both women feel slighted and pissed off. It could turn into a bloodbath.

Tommy Dukes: Of course, we already have our Dark Matches on ENN+. with Kaie serving Chrissy Angel another hard lesson in her rookie career. Lainey Strong pulled off an upset, with an impressive Arm Drag into Roll Up combination on Eve. Calamity Jane got herself DQ'd in her match with Lt. Lacy Wagner. Right now, we open the show, the first show of 2021 with a World Tag Team Championship match. LET'S TAKE IT TO THE RING! 2021! HERE WE GO!

EBW: Xcite "Year 15 Begins!"
Renegade Arena, Saturn City
ENN

0. Dark Match Women's Singles: Kaie beat Chrissy Angel via Celtic Hand Grenade -> Pin
0. Dark Match Women's Singles: Lainey Strong beat Eve via Arm Drag into Pin -> Pin
0. Dark Match Women's Singles: Lt. Lacy Wagner beat Calamity Jane via DQ
1. EBW World Tag Team Championships: Kinniku Mike(c)[o]/Amigo(c) beat Jammer/Vape[x] via Edo Ocean Cyclone Suplex -> Pin
-Opening match saw a re-energized Weekend Wrecking Crew take on Jammer and Vape, with the Crew's tag straps on the line. A clash of styles, with Jammer looking to be in top form, but once against, Vape, while beloved and very marketable, was suffering in the ring, and Mike showed off the results of his hard training, by lifting the big man for an Edo Ocean Cyclone Suplex, actually hoisting him on his shoulders before taking him down for the pin and the title defense.

Tommy Dukes: Wow! Did you see that?! He LIFTED VAPE! ON! HIS! SHOULDERS! Wow! Mike is looking jacked! The TITS have never been STRONGER! Let's all give him an Uuuuu! Ready? Uuuu-

Nerma: I'm not doing it.

Tommy Dukes: Oh. Jammer is looking demoralized as he helps Vape to the back. Mike is grabbing a microphone.

Kinniku Mike: Uuuuu! I think this helps to prove that we're the great tag team in EBW history! We're dominant, and if we do lose the titles, it's because we got screwed over, and we make SURE we get them back before you know it. I'm going to hold these titles until my son is ready to step in the ring, and I can give Amigo's title to him.

Amigo: I'm sorry what?

Kinniku Mike: Kidding! Maybe.

Amigo: Right....hey wai-

Kinniku Mike: UUUUUU!

Backstage

w00t and his associates were arguing, with the Masked Man standing behind w00t.

Maurice: This is bullshit w00t! We're not ready for the "War Kings"! I need to scout them, see tapes, and train for this team! That should take weeks! Get us those weeks!

w00t: I can't! We're being cheated guys! He's trying to make us fight about this too! He's trying to oppress us, and drive us apart! We need to stick together!

Cade: I could care less. I thought you were going to help me get my rematch with Dan. I didn't give up. I didn't submit! I said I was clearly awake, and Mav CHEATED ME! I want that rematch!

w00t: We have to focus on this now Cade. THIS! Secure the rings FIRST! Swift will HATE IT if we retain!

Cadmus: .....

w00t: Cadmus? You have anything to say.

Cadmus: ....Not anymore. Not right now. I just...I just need to be alone for awhile. I have to think.

w00t: *sigh*

The group parted, walking in different directions. w00t stood with the Masked Man.

w00t: Stick around, but keep your eyes open. This is a distraction, but at the end of the day, our goal is still Trevor Mach. Mach....Swift...Tack...every last one of them. Desperate times call for desperate measures right? I said that. I need a word with him. You know who I'm talking about.

2. Women's Singles: Kimber Blaze beat BeShemoth via Eagleland Rack -> Stoppage
-Kimber Blaze came out on her motorcycle with the Eagleland Flag, and played up to the booing crowd. She casually let the flag hit the ground, as she squared off with BeShemoth. The much bigger BeShemoth threw Kimber around the ring in the early going, but flexing her Eagleland muscle, and won out on a test of strength. She resorted to a thumb to the eye, to hoist up the larger wrestler for an Eagleland Rack. She racked BeShemoth until the ref had to end the match with a stoppage.

Kimber Blaze: Oh! Would you look at that! The Eagleland Rack claims another victim. I DO have a large rack don't I? Good ol' Eagleland genes eh? We always make em bigger and better, or at least we used to. We'd rather cheat, and augment, and manipulate now right? Well, I don't need to "augment" a thing. They're already big enough, but sorry Tack Angel, cause they're not for you. However, I WILL cheat and manipulate if I have to. I will do what I have I have to do, with no conscience, and no regrets, because it's the Eagleland way, and-

Nerma: Here comes Christina Angel! Here she comes! She's running after Kimber Blaze, and she chased her out of the ring. She's checking on BeShemoth before grabbing the mic.

Christina Angel: I'm back where I belong Kimber! I've got the World Championship! I've got the World Tag Team Championship. When the world tried to screw me. When Eisenritter put me to the ultimate test, I rose above, and I took back what was mine. I bet that makes you seethe! Well, I've got good news for you. If you want a shot to get rid of more Angels, why don't you try taking on me? I'm not Chrissy. I mean I technically AM Chrissy, but I have years more experience. I figured Erica would want a rematch, but Tess said she's not here tonight. No claim for a rematch, leaves me wide open. You can have the match, on one condition. Tell me who else signed that petition. I want to know. It's a new year, and this needs to end. Point me in the direction of the next person who made a very big mistake. Who is it?

Kimber Blaze: Heh. Is that ALL I need to do to get a title shot? All I need to do to get rid of another pathetic Angel, taking up space that I deserve? That's the easiest decision I've made since deciding to sign my name on the petition myself! You want to know who else signed it? Look behind you. Did you hear me? I said, look behind you.

Nerma: WHOA! A LIVID BESHEMOTH JUST SLAMMED THE NEW WORLD CHAMPION TO THE MAT! BESHEMOTH SIGNED IT!?

Tommy Dukes: She swore she didn't. She made a compelling case that she didn't, but then again, it's oh so simple to just tell a lie isn't it? It's too simple for some.

Kimber Blaze: BeShemoth, I KNOW I just beat you, but you didn't tap. I might have done it in a dirty way, but that is how people like you and I will get ahead. You come with me, and we watch each other's backs here, and before long we can have a rematch, only, it'll be for the Women's World Championship.

Nerma: She's doing it? She's leaving with Kimber Blaze. Well that's just great.

Tommy Dukes: An upstanding figure in BeShemoth, or at least we thought she was. Christina Angel just found herself in a whole new challenge.

Backstage

Hope Mach was walking backstage, when she found Tess talking with Mr. Face and Fray Tiburon.

Hope Mach: Tess, I need to talk to-

Tess: I know what it's about, and it's the same thing I'm discussing with these men here.

Mr. Face: You know I've investigated your husband before. We've been through that, but-

Tess: I'm telling you, I truly don't know who did it. I have not come into contact with KYO either. He's not on the pay roll. President Swift would tell you the same thing.

Hope Mach: You think KYO did this?

Fray Tiburon: It's a possibility my child. Nothing concrete yet. It's likely, but not certain.

Mr. Face: We have a short list of people who we know would do something like this, and he's the only one we know of in Saturn City.

Hope Mach: Then maybe you need to get a hold of him Tess.

Tess: Pardon?

Hope Mach: Let's put aside the heat for a second. I said before that I don't need anything from you, but right now, for the sake of everyone, let's put that aside. Get in touch with him. Use your connections. Use Grandpa if you have to. Act like you want to get him signed again. If he went after my Mom, I want to know why, and I want him to pay for it.

Mr. Face: Again, we don't know for sure.

Fray Tiburon: Vengeance fills your heart Hope. It's worrisome.

Hope Mach: I know. Spending all this time with Dan has given me a peace of mind that lets me know when I'm going off the deep end. I'm getting there. I don't want to be. I just want to be happy. I just want to be with Dan, and I want to spend time with my family, and have fun in Level Up Wrestling. I want all of that. I can't have that happiness until the attacker is brought to justice, and I avenge my own humiliation at the hands of Sunny Malibu. Pray for me, would you Padre?

Fray Tiburon: ....You're just calling me that because your Dad does right?

Hope Mach: ....Maybe?

Fray Tiburon: Heh. Of course I'll pray for you. I'll pray for us all.

Tess: Save the prayers for people who care Tiburon. I guess I have some calls to make.

Mr. Face: He might already be here people. Look out for a Masked Man, and stay sharp. He could be very dangerous.

3. EBW Women's Television #1 Contender: Hope Mach vs. Alison Chains ended in a No Contest
-A match that promised to be brutal, was stopped just short of the mark, as Sunny Malibu got involved. Hope and Chains were throwing down hard hitting blows, and Chains managed to escape the Olympic Slam, and tried a Cradle Piledriver, but Hope grabbed the ropes, and used them to pull herself out of it. As they locked up, Sunny ran in with her Television Championship, and smashed it into the faces of the two battling ladies. She smashed them both in the head so hard, it was left bloody.

Nerma: It's got the blood of Hope and Chains on it, the Women's Television Championship, still in the possession of Sunny Malibu. She just ensured that neither Chains or Hope could win another title shot, but-

Suddenly, Lady M's appeared on the monitor with Truth Mach in hand.

Lady M's: Hey Sunny! Couldn't help but notice you interjected in that match. Shame shame shame. You cost them the chance, and you cost the fans a match. Despite the fact that I want I wrap a bat around your head, and shove that belt down your throat, I'm a little busy as you can see. This is Truth everybody. Truth, you want to say hi? Can you say hi yet? I'm still new to this. I didn't ever get to hold Justice when he was this small. Whatever. Speaking of Truth, here is the truth. You're afraid of both of them aren't you? You should be. You should be afraid of them, and me. Why? Because, I'm going to book you in a match. At New Year Rising 2021, you're going to take on Alison Chains AND Hope Mach in a No Rules 3-Way Dance!

Sunny Malibu: You can't do that you bitch!

Lady M's: Hey! Language! I've got a kid here you little bi- See, you almost made me do it. I CAN do it. It's a done deal. It's happening. Sunny, you've surprised me. You've shown more ambition then I'd expect from a beach bum, BUT your time is almost up. Don't think that's it though. Because I still owe you more. You and the growth you call a little sister. I'll see you soon.

4. Mustache vs. Mustache: Magnum PT beat Dirk Laramie via Magnum Bomb x Mustache Ride -> Pin
-In Dirk Laramie's biggest match to date, he battled Magnum PT, who was seconded by not only Sal Paradise, but by the returning Dick Wagner, who just finished up with Alcoholics Anonymous. He still drinks, he just does it anonymously. Mustaches were on the line here, as PT and Dirk battled to be the most popular 80's caricature allowed to exist in the space as Trevor Mach. Dirk fought like a man teetering on the edge, but PT's charisma and talent were on full display. A man renewed, PT smashed Dirk to the mat with the Magnum Bomb, and lined up Laramie with the Mustache Ride. 1-2-3! Magnum PT with the win! 

Tommy Dukes: Well, Dirk got what he wanted I guess, but not the result obviously. As Dick Wagner brings out the clippers, I've got to wonder why he decided to start hanging out with PT again.

Nerma: Better beer?

Tommy Dukes: Probably better beer. Plus, who wants to live in a Panel Van?

Nerma: Were they both living in it?

Tommy Dukes: No idea.

Nerma: Dirk is in near tears as PT shaves the mustache, but wait, Dick is offering him a beer. He's telling him it's alright, and assuring him that his mullet is still top tier. I guess they're still friends? I don't know what's going on with these guys. Mullets are so gross.

Tommy Dukes: I used to have a mullet back in the day.

Nerma: Well it was the fashion back then.

Tommy Dukes: In 2009? I don't know about that.

Nerma: So glad you went bald.

Tommy Dukes: Not entirely. I have horseshoe hair. I could STILL-

Nerma: NOOOOOO!

As PT and Dirk left the ring, Picky Minch rolled in, looking bruised up, with a mic in hand.

Picky Minch: You know, it didn't have to be this way. I could've take my education, and made something of myself outside of the ring. I could have done good things for the world, unlike the rest of my entire pathetic family. I could have put my name into Dae Montell's book, but I wanted to win on my own. I wanted to prove I was great. If I made a mistake, it was expecting to put away Mach in 2. I didn't train for three. I didn't work my cardio hard enough. I didn't do what I had to do, but I still think I've left Trevor Mach beaten, bruised, and sore. I've beaten him before. I've won the title that he held. I carried it. I proved a lot to myself. I wanted just a little bit more. I wanted-

Mav Valentine: That's enough about what you wanted Picky Minch. That's enough. We've heard it. You've been saying it over and over and over and OVER! You know what I want? Another shot at Dan. You know what I want? For Cade to stop lying about me cheating him out of the title. I know I have to work for those though. Dan beat me again. It's not easy to admit, but I'm taking a new attitude to loss. I'll just get better. I'll just train harder. I'll just work at my peak. I'll win again. It's only a matter of time. That's the mindset I've taken. Don't come in here and feel sorry for yourself. We've both worked with Mach, and one of us got to hold the Triple Crown. He's not the reason you are where you are, or you feel the way you do. I held a bit of a grudge myself, but it was like being a spoiled little brother, wanting what your older brother had. That didn't get me anywhere, and it's not going to get you anywhere.

Picky Minch: Don't compare me to you. Our age might now show it, but I've got YEARS on you Mav. I experienced a lot in my years. Some good and some bad, but I already learned the hard way how to keep my chin up when I lose. I don't need you to tell me that. I have some respect for you, and what you've done, but don't talk to me like you know me green boy.

Mav Valentine: Green boy? Triple Crown World Championship. A green boy would be lucky to look at it. I held it for quite some time. I was in one of the best matches last year. I'm in the best match of this year so far. I've got credentials Minch. I'd be happy to show you.

Picky Minch: Right here and now? I'm ready. I'm always ready.

Mav Valentine: You don't look it.

Picky Minch: You're one to talk. You can barely walk on that leg. You going to chicken out?

Mav Valentine: Not a chance. Ring the damn bell!

Picky and Mav paced back and forth in the ring, before charging into a lock up. Outside of the arena, a red sports car pulled into the parking garage as the two in the ring grappled on the mat. Moments later Trevor Mach came running down to the ring as quickly as he could with his injuries. He fought to separate the two men repeatedly while asking for a mic.

Trevor Mach: Stop it! Come on! Listen! Just listen! You both need to calm down. Do either of you really want this? Would it be a good fight? Hell yeah it would, but the intent behind it? What are we fighting over huh? Mav, you figured it out by now. Surely you have. I never had anything but respect for your ability, and I wanted to use my position and experience to help someone out. I'm not a complete dick bag all the time. I fought you to make you tougher, and to keep me sharp. You don't get to stay as awesome as I am without new experiences. What did I do when the show was over? I drove you to my house. My wife and I fed you dinner, and gave you a place to crash. I wanted you to be a champ. When I won the E1, I was looking forward to the chance to wrestle you again, not out of spite, envy, or greed, but because it would be a great fight.

Mav Valentine: ....*nods*

Trevor Mach: Picky....you're like a brother to me too. When your brother abandoned you, who befriended you and looked out for you? When the other guys in the locker room used to pick on you, who stood up for you? Huh? During your Senior Prom, who drove you and your date to the school in the ol' Testarossa? I don't believe you blew it up. I don't believe you attacked my wife. You're better than that. Family means a lot to me. You're both like family to me. Not sons, I'm not looking for kids, because I'm not really that much older than either of you, and I have my own kids. Brothers though. We're like brothers. We ARE brothers. In this sport, and this life we've chosen to lead, we have to know who we can count on. I know I can count on both of you to give me my best matches. Mav, you took me to my limit last year. Picky? I've never had someone kick my ass as much as this. You had the desire, but I had the experience. That's what it came down to. You hold your head up. You've got nothing to be ashamed of. Neither of you do. I have a lot of things I've got to do this year. A whole bunch of resolutions. One is finding out who attacked my wife. Who blew up my car? Then, I'm going to beat the ever living hell out of w00t. Next, I want to defend this Challenge Championship, as much as possible, against the best of the best. Fourth, I'm going to be a "Bushido Renegade" like always, the wild gunman of EBW, the big bad desperado. I have time for those resolutions. The last one, I didn't want to wait. I want to make amends with people I have respect for, because we're stronger together then we are apart. Now, that's something to think about. Isn't it? Imagine it. Trevor Mach, Picky Minch, and Mav Valentine, standing together. Now, what do you say to that?

Mach put the mic on the ground, and turned his back to Mav and Minch. They both thought about what Trevor had said, while Picky cleared tears from his eyes. Picky turned Mach and looked at his hand, before extending it. Trevor shook his hand and the two hugged as the crowd cheered. Mav nodded and shook Trevor's hand too. The crowd applauded, as Trevor and his "brothers" walked to the back.

5. EBW World Team Championships: Hazen[o]/Ilya Fedorovich/Radzi Schrieffer/Golvoth beat w00t(c)/Cade(c)/Cadmus(c)/Maurice(c)[x] via Wrist Clutch Death Valley Driver -> Pin -> NEW EBW World Team Champions!
-Main event time, as w00t's team put the World Team Rings on the line against the "War Kings", masters of technical, submission, and hard hitting combat from Euroland. w00t's team was in disarray, with a disgruntled Cade, not wanting to cooperate, a lethargic Cadmus not putting in his best, and still sporting injuries from the match with Tack, and Maurice doing most of the heavy lifting. The "War Kings" worked over the champs, using methodical strikes and holds, and tagging quickly. An efficient team effort, lead to the finish, as Golvoth used his mass like a wall, while Hazen hit the Wrist Clutch Death Valley Driver on Maurice, after catching an errant Head Kick attempt. 1-2-3, and the "War Kings" were the NEW World Team Champions!

Tommy Dukes: Holy shit! That's it! w00t looks fed up! He's walking out, as his team pick up the pieces. The "War Kings" are putting on the rings. They went from Dark Matches to winning the World Team Championship Rings in no time! They're as good as they say they are, and that's scary. They seem to have someone with them? The tall, grey haired man in the trench coat. He's clapping for his team as they hold up the rings together. Who is that guy, and how far do the ambitions of the "War Kings" go? Maybe we'll find out next time. See you then!

Backstage

Mr. Face and Fray Tiburon looked all over the arena to no avail. They met up with Hope Mach.

Mr. Face: I saw footage that showed a Masked Man here, but I don't know where they are, or if they're even KYO.

Fray Tiburon: I wonder what luck Tess is having.

Hope Mach: I don't know if we can rely on her. I believe she didn't authorize the attack, but why would she be in a hurry to find out the identity of the attacker. She hates my Mom. I don't care how much she tries to say otherwise, but now that Truth is born, she has no reason to go gung ho with helping us. If you really think it was KYO, we could draw him out.

Fray Tiburon: With what?

Hope Mach: He's got a brother right? We just need to recruit Danny Leung.

Outside of the Arena

w00t paced back and forth in disbelief as the Masked Man approached, with another figure beside him.

w00t: There you are. Did you see that?

Dae Montell: Pride comes before the fall w00t. I appreciate pride, even in dangerous quantities, but you better make sure you've got what it takes to back it up, and if you don't, plan to lie, cheat, and steal your way to success anyways.

w00t: No arguments here. Listen though, I need your help.

Dae Montell: Of course. That's what I'm here for, to give you what you want, in exchange for what I want.

w00t: I want success. I want power. I want control. I want wins, titles, money, women, and everything else I used to have. I used to be....PERFECTION, and now, every plan continues to fall apart. People are not wise enough to accept my genius! They don't understand my vision! I want to make them understand.

Dae Montell: Very good. That I can work with. I just need two things from you. First, continue to push Cade towards my guidance. He's so close to where he needs to be. We can make something out of him yet w00t.

w00t: Done. What's the other thing.

Dae Montell: *opens the book* Sign....right.....here.

w00t: ....Done.
